Walnut Gouda (8 ounce) by igourmet.com(more) »rank: 2512from: igourmetOur review: :The cheese market in Holland is changing rapidly. For years, Holland was known for Gouda and Edam, two simple cheeses that appeal to the masses. But as tastes have moved upscale, the popularity of Gouda and Edam has waned. With almost every cheese plant in Holland geared up for the production of these two cheeses, a gap between supply and demand threatened to put the smaller cheesemakers out of business. While many got bought out by larger competitors, several shifted their strategy to new and inventive specialty cheeses. Since the mid 1990's, many new cheeses have been developed in Holland.

Blue Cheese Assortment (2 pound) by igourmet.com(more) »rank: 5741from: igourmetOur review: :igourmet.com is saluting blue cheese by offering this International Blue Cheese Assortment, containing three of the worlds greatest blue cheeses. For creating blue cheese in the first place, we owe thanks to a micro-organism named Penicillium roqueforti. This microscopic spore attaches itself to a young cheese and, assuming the cheese is laced with small cracks, multiplies and spreads blue mold throughout as the cheese matures. By the way, this little microbe is also the principal agent used in creating penicillin, the world's first antibiotic. And now, back to the cheese...Roquefort: The world's oldest known blue cheese.

Farmhouse Leyden (8 ounce) by igourmet.com(more) »rank: 3830from: igourmetOur review: :Bearing the symbol of the town of Leyden - two crossed keys - this newly available Farmhouse Leyden is richer and prettier than our mainstream Leyden that has been satisfying customers for many years. Like regular Leyden, this special Dutch treat is a tasty cheese studded with cumin seeds. However this Farmhouse variety is encased in a ruby red parrafin rind and seems to have a slightly higher fat content, giving the cheese a richer flavor and creamier texture. Enjoy Farmhouse Leyden with Heineken, a great beer from Holland.Made from pasteurized cow's milk.Photo depicts whole 24 lb. form of cheese.We cut and ... Detail |

White Stilton with Fruit - Pear and Apple (8 ounce) by igourmet.com(more) »rank: 5983from: igourmetOur review: :White Stilton, the young, immature cousin to the world famous British blue cheese, is extra creamy and deliciously tangy but somehow unfinished all by itself - much like plain yogurt. Hence the need to introduce a fruit. Available with apricots, lemon, ginger, and eight other wicked flavors. Each of these flavorful additions tames the brash White Stilton. After your first bite you will immediately recognize that the combination is a natural fit. The expert cheesemakers have added exactly the right amount of fruit such that the cheese is not overly sweet. Aged for a minimal time period, our family of flavored White ... Detail |

Mexican Cheese Assortment (2 pound) by igourmet.com(more) »rank: 3555from: igourmetOur review: :While it is obvious that Italian cuisine calls for Italian cheeses, most Americans cook with uninspired domestic varieties when serving up Mexican cuisine.
